During
his official visit to Prague,
director of the National Library
Kerim Tahirov while getting acquainted with the
manuscripts in arabic and persian languages preserving in the
collection of the National Library of Czech Republic have found that
they also keep valuable manuscripts of calssic Azerbaijani poets
such as Nizami Ganjavi, Muhammed Fizuli, Khagani Shirvani, Imadeddin
Nesimi, Mehseti Ganjavi and others belonging to XVII-XVIII centuries.
Photocopies of the title and the last
pages of these manuscripts were brought to Azerbaijan. During visit,
the directors of national libraries of both countries reached an
agreement on exchange of experts to study and research of rare books
and manuscripts. At present, after the relevant negotiations between
the National Library and the Institute of Manuscripts of Azerbaijan
National Academy of Sciences, was decided to send to Prague, one
expert from the National Library and the Institute of Manuscripts.
It was also decided to prepare full and detailed information about
the valuable manuscripts in the collection of the Czech National
Library.
At the same time directors of
both countries came to agreement that valuable manuscripts
preserving in the collections of the National Library of Czech
Republic will be delivered to Baku, and an exhibition will be held
at the building of the National Library in autumn.
We believe that these valuable
materials will cause great interest of scientist and professionals
and closely help to the scientific research.
We also want to note that all
this was done during the visit of President of Azerbaijan Republic
Ilham Aliyev’s visit to Czech Republic in April of this year on the
basis of the mutual Memorandum of Cooperation signed between
libraries of both countries and in accordance with State Program
